Easter brings with it lots of candy...and a reminder not to overindulge.
Jackie Conn shares strategies for enjoying Easter treats, and has a recipe of the season you might want to try.
Easter Strategies:
1. Start with your desired outcome in mind
2. Avoid extremes - too hungry/overly full
3. When temptation threatens to overwhelm, picture yourself looking good in your favorite summer attire
4. No matter what happens, there is always "damage control"
Easter Chocolate Crispies
A great one to make with the kids.
Place 5oz milk chocolate squares in a pan with 1 1/2oz polyunsaturated margarine and 1 tbsp light molasses. Warm gently and stir until melted.
Stir in 1 3/4oz puffed rice cereal.
Spoon into 12 paper cases, shaping into nests. Leave to set for 1 hour then fill each with 3 Cadbury's mini eggs.
